ROPE OF A CIIAXCC
f i
An iatcrvii w recently puWiseed seetns to
indicate something of a change in the poliey
ef the project Adniir.istration. The eonver
eatioc alleged is to have taken p!ae between
Senatcr Kuslis, aud the President; and by
way of paremfcasis we may rcmaik that
there seems to l-e a charge in tho ida"s
of Senator Eusti. During the first
months of the AuminLtnttion. the Sena
tor from JjouiMana did not cuderrc the Ad
wmitrati.jn because it did not remove
Republicans frcia r Rice as rapidly as he
desired; now Mr. Eustis cmes out with
the assertion teat some of the President's
appointment nr.' bad, that he has fur
nished the Senate with too much rejected
material. We can understand, however,
that much good may come of the inter
view, it is the first advice to which Mr.
Cleveland has even listened. It is stated
that Mr. Cleveland took great interest in
the interview and that he read it over be
fore it was sent to tr e press.
It u not too late for the President to
change the excentric coarse, which has
characterized his Administration to the
present time. It is not too late for him to
commence listening to the advice ot the
leading men of his party. It Li net too
late for him to arrive at the realization
th.4 he ia not bigger tlian the great Na
tional Democratic party. It L not toe
late for him to open his ears to the ue
ceasing damcr of the whole people irres
pective of party, to comedo fF the fence and
stand by the colors that placed him in
hia lofty positien, the greatest among the
rslers of the earth. It ia not a difficult
matter for a President to lose the support
of his party friends. To whom then, will
lie tura for support? Perhaps to the
handful of independents, that set of politi
cal bigots, and Pharisees, who eontia
Hourly fill the air with a great clamor o'
corruption in the lines of all political par
ties, that set of vain tranks, who are ah 'i
ways advising.but never doing. These will
be Mr. Cleveland's counselors, when he
ehall have failed as a President. -
The HlRAfJ plain, it is Democratic.
Jt is anti-repubiican, and anti civil right,
and it will not approve of anything undemocratic.
IJDtfOATIOHAIi.
."12a. ?. TURLINGTON, Editor.
At in v reuuest the editor of tho HERXtD
ha Very kiudly consented to give. t the
teavhoi of the count j onq column of Jib
paper esi h week in which to discuss edu
cational matters. This request was made
rot ior personal uianuci.uu
lor the jic purpose oi encouraging uto
teachers in their noble work.
To thii end I snail apply one of the
noblest principles in school teaching,
namely: We leurn to do a thing by
doing it. I shall give the teachers eotuo
work to do and hope that they will cheer
fully resrond.
Topics for discussion, will be introduced
occasionally. There wCl appear each week"
a list ol questions to be answered by the
tcachsrs.
While this space in the IT ERA to has
Veen obtained especially for the use of the
public school teachers, we earnestly en
treat the teachers of the Hi.th Sthools and
Acadeniks to co operate with us in tlii
work.
The Siate Boird of Edusition baa re--com
mended flr use in the public schools
Harrington's Speller and Swinton's Lan
guage Lessons. The speller is to take
the place of Wei ster's,and the Language
Lessons is intended tor beginners inrra&i
mar who are nt prepireil to take Reed
and Kellcgg's Graded Lessons.
These are gool books and the public
school teiehers shouFd try to introduce
them in toe public school.
Arilhusclic gncstlns.
I wish every public school teacher in
the county to work the questions below
and send me the the full analysis of each.
1. Two persons start at noon from
towoa 60 miles apart. One walks at the
rate of four miles an hour, but stops 2
hours on the way; the other walks at the
rate of three miles an hour without stop
pin. When and where wi'I they meet?
2. At f.n election the majority waa 1G2.
which was three elevenths of the whole
number of votes. What was the num
ber of votes on each side ?
The TTerc Method vs. The
Alphabet IMetbod.
Ti word metW is the method used
even bj the teaoher who begins to tench his
pupils to it-ad by f.rt teaching them the al
phabet. The pupil is first taught -hb Inters"
by the teaer pointing to each one nd call
ing its na:n, and tfce pnpil repeating the
asaeafler the teacher. The pupil i3 taught
to fpil, cvumettcing with wonls f one syl
labi: the tocher pronounces the word, and
he names the let ers of the word. lie ia
taught reading pest. If he does net know
th word at sight he ia probably asked to spell
it; if he cannot pronounce it after spelling it.
which is the case nine times out of ten the
teacher pronounces it and then he provinces
it, imitating the teacher. It vcxy" often hap
pens at, instead f retiring the pupil te
fptUthe weni. the teacher pronounces it a
ence, the child following. The fact is, the pu
pul has learned to proneun the word by
hearing tae teacher pronounce.
Why not teach tho pupil to pronounce the
WOW Of first Without the rirru
tm.ocutioa
earning the alrhatfef. and of learning a little
speIliuR? Row has the irork ef learning to
read been ficilitated by the learning of "the
lexers and the fnbeequent drill in spelling?
Fut lit tle, if at al?. IQ the spelling drill the
pupil meets the wont he is tc rr ad.and by rep
etition the spelling and the proaunciatioa of
it become a seriated in such a way as .o ena
ble the wort! to be recognized. But there ha
bee no mental actirity repetition simply
1 as produced the result. Ir some very few
cases the pi pil way have learned in a small
legree, to associate with the letter the sound
r-presected by it, and thus when he si ells he
may be able to prono .nce better than if he
had Hot spelled. But this is the exception
the very great exception. . The pupil taught
to read by the alphabet method lepras to pre
nounce words by heating them pronounced.
His knowledge of words ia a matter of memory ,
aided by tht poorest kinds of aasoeiatiena. Be
is led from 4U'j unknowm to the known, from
the abstract to the concrete. Far. Ia spelling
he learns th words as abstract, and even if
he gets the idea belonging to the word (whjh
is not at all likely), it ia in the abstract aa
well; Thecrder ef natural development is re
versed by this process.-- J. Bm IKUard m Tht

The baukoTs say that the hard working
Irish girls, to their ctedit be it raid, send
between two and thrca millions of dollars
a year home to their parents and relatives
in the old country. The Chinese, we know,
send all they make to China. The Ger
mans send home very large sums, the Scan
dinavians also. Besides all this, every true
American who ean aiTord it goes to Eu
rope, and makes the money fly wherever
he goes and wherever he stops. No other
country on earth could stand this strain;
and the fa;rt that we f tand it so well, shows
how much. more prosperous we arc than
any other nation. Ex.
Economical Habits.
Good Ilonsekeepfng.
If a woman sets up her ideal that an es
tablishment is irdispeasiblo to married life,
she is not fit for a wife. If she must step
from the elegantly appointed home of her
parents to a similar abode, without tha ex
perience of self-denial and toil that leada
to it. she is only a dead weight to her hus
band. The knowledge of this opinion held
by young ladies has prevented young men
from entering married life. They cannot
ratify this desire, and so they do not mar
ry. It has become fashionable for many
young couples to board, they thus enjoy a
luxury and leisure they could not com
mand in a home of their own, bet it utter
ly unfits them for the duties and diriee
sanctions of tho family. However elegant
the home and ample the income, the mis
tress should know by experience and prac
tice how to manage it. If she does not,
it result in a wicked waste of money, dis
orderly sod impudent service, and she is
unthle to take that prominent- and eora
manding position in benevolent work,
which hor leisure and life otherwise would
allow her The American fa-nil y has not
yet beguu to know ihe secrets of elegant
economy.,
